Courtesy of Wired’s big, bad ” Ultimate Guide to the Online Video Universe,” in the May issue, comes today’s bit of google-mapped fun. VlogMap.org is an aggregator of personal video logs from all over the world, using Google Maps and Google Earth as an interface. Going to Australia, Japan, or Burkina Faso? You can check in to see what the locals are posting about. There’s also a more limited subset of “Geovlog” maps, which pinpoint videos by the location where they were filmed. At this point, most of them have been posted by one guy, Andy Carvin, a digital rights advocate who’s apparently on a one-man mission to vlog the globe. Here’s his linked take on Dubai for your spectating pleasure.
